Another Federal election and another disappointment for Canadian democracy. Elizabeth May had been barred from joining the debates. Instead we will have 4 men debate the future of Canada.

I think it is time Elections Canada took over the debate setup. There should be clear rules of inclusion. For example if your party is receiving federal financing based on the results of the last election then you should be allowed in. Or any other rule, but something that parties can aim for and not the arbitrary decision of a closed door meeting.
